HELP: Enclosed By

OPTIONAL SETTING, LEAVE BLANK TO IGNORE. Note, it is important that you inspect your datafeed for enclosing characters, usually "double quotes" surrounding a column. If there are no enclosing characters in the entire datafeed, clear this field to blank. If there is even one location of a "pair" of enclosing characters in your datafeed, then enter that character into this field. Note that an enclosing character can only occur as the first or last character of a column. If your datafeed contains enclosing characters within the data but not as the first or last character of any one column, leave this field blank. If your feed contains an enclosing character as the first character of the column but no enclosing character at the end of the column, we strongly advise you to set "Line Breaks" to "NO", otherwise, this errored row will continue reading over many rows of data until an enclosing character is found as the last character of a column. Alternatively or additionally, you can clear the enclosed-by field to blank to ignore any possible enclosing characters. Enclosing characters are not transferred to the MySQL database table; they are used for data-parsing only.
